We are back from our annual end of January camping holiday. Not from our beloved Totaranui which may never again be accessible to us in the same way, but rather from the south, the stark and beautiful Central Otago region. Wanaka has always been a winter or autumn destination for us, not a mid summer one. We took our big tent, small boat, kayak, 3 bikes and a ski biscuit. It was a holiday of extremes and some incidents that up until now have not plagued previous camping holidays. The key features were wind....lots of it, some snow and extreme heat. Without dwelling on those things, here are some pictures of our holiday.

Wow!!

A hot morning and a tiny beach all to ourselves
